Come on with the ads! #MakeTempleRunGreatAgain – Temple Run Review

When you die, you’re offered the chance to watch a video to continue. That’s fine. Hit no, and you get an ad anyway. I’ve been playing this game since it was brand new, and this is just a lame silly tactic copied from the frivolous dime-a-dozen gimmick games from skuzzy ad-mining publishers like Voodoo that some guy whips up in Unity in like an hour that go up on the App Store every day. Why is this kind of stuff now in an all-time classic game? Come on. How much revenue is that going to generate? Try not to spend it all on one item off the Dollar Menu. To the individual(s) on the team that made that decision, I do not wish harm on you - I will always wish everyone everywhere the best of health and a long, happy, fulfilling life. However, I do wish the following harmless discomforts and inconveniences on you for a period of up to one work day: - Maple syrup and/or honey smeared all over your keyboard and mouse. That way everything you touch during the course of that work day will be sticky. - Your desk chair swapped out for that one old broken chair in the other room that nobody wants. You know the chair. Every office has one of those chairs. I hope you end up with that chair. - If you commute to work in your personal vehicle, the radio will play an obscenely long and annoying commercial break bookended by 1) the end of an old song you love that you wish you could hear again and 2) the start of a song that you’d love to listen to but you’re at work and have to turn the car off. - You have food delivered for lunch but the restaurant forgot to put the sauces in the bag, and it’s kinda soggy and room temperature instead of deliciously hot and crispy because the delivery guy couldn’t find the door and was walking around with your food NOT in the warming bag for fifteen minutes.
